Book Cover & Preview Text
Cabin We decided to find out why we had experienced excessive talking in the girl’s cabin long after they had been sent to bed. I informed counselors, both male and female alike, that talking in their cabins long after dark would be a punishable offense. I walked down to the girl’s cabin from the dining hall. As I approached the cabin, I could hear laughter, singing and conversation. I was aware that in complete darkness, the campers were thoroughly enjoying themselves. I did not turn the lights on as I entered the cabin. I wanted to see if I could assess what was happening in total darkness. Lo and behold: Our blind camper, named Maria, was reading to her cabin mates a story from a book printed in Braille. What could I say? I still become choked up every time I have a vision about that evening. What I had experienced was a pure expression of “love for your fellow man”.
